A/n: I'll tell you all the truth here. I haven't been very inspired to write in a while. But just recently an idea popped into my head for a story literally no one asked for. So how do you feel about forest spirit!deku? Because shiiiit mate I kinda wanna write it. Sorry for the short chapters but I'm trying to update more often again.

Your useless author-chan

Izumi
'Um hey voice, what should I call you?' It was around midnight, I was lying awake in recovery girl's office. 'I mean if you're the original, you need a name right... to differentiate us...'  usually at night, I was alone with my thoughts. But now I had the voice, original I mean. 'Maybe izuku? I mean because my memories are of before we were a girl it's only fitting I keep our male name.' I silently smiled to myself. The voice was so soft, he sounded hurt but kind. 'Hey izuku, do you miss being in charge of our body?' I asked him. There was a short pause before he responded to me. 'I don't necessarily miss it. But there are some little things I miss. Like writing in my hero journals. I can't really do that mentally no matter how hard I try.' Suddenly an idea sprung into my head. 'What- what if I let you control sometimes?!! I mean maybe you can control the body too!' It went silent for a minute before izuku asked, 'do you really want to try letting me control? What if I accidentally turn back into a guy and you panic? What if I panic? What if they notice I'm me not you'- 'IZUKU calm down. Let me answer your questions. First, yes. I do want to let you try and control the body. Second, if we turn into a guy and I panic just turn back into a girl or get Recovery girl. Third, if you panic I'll take control. I have like an allotted two minutes before full on panic mode sets in anyway. And last, if they notice we can just tell them. We can just say, hey well izuku woke up so now the two of us share a body. They'll understand. They have to.' I wasn't used to all this. But somewhere deep in my heart a fire reignited after years of being beaten down and smothered.

Somehow I knew, from then on I'd be ok because I had izuku. I'd never be alone again. 'Do you want to try it?' I didn't know if it would work but I figured, might as well try. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine us together in a room. Me and izuku. I then imagined a control panel (think inside out) and moved away from it. 'Can you see what I see?' I asked him. 'How are you doing this?' He responded. 'I'm not 100 percent sure, but try going to the control and touching it.' When he did, I was suddenly in a different place, a strange gray area with a big screen like window. I assumed it was my way of seeing what was going on. The screen began to light up from a point in the middle showing recovery girls office. 'Did it work?' I said to him. "Holy shit..." he said out loud, "I'm actually controlling the body... holy fucking shit. Izumi you did it." I laughed for a minute. 'So... you were always in an endless gray room?' I asked him, 'just think your answer to me.' I wasn't expecting his voice to be considerably louder than mine, 'yeah with a big ass window and shit kinda floating around?' I looked around and saw things in the distance. "Yep shits floating around."

"So is this like the mind scape or something izuku?" A was floating around. Apparently the window followed me. 'Yeah that's kinda what I assumed it is. Oh and inside there you only have access to things in your memory. Because of that quirk they gave you there's a lot. Shit this hair is so heavy. Fuck Izumi how do you control it?' I laughed a bit. "Like a limb. Except you have to think of what you want it to do. Did it flatten out when you took control?" Until then, I hadn't realized I had long hair even in the mind scape. "Yeah I got it now thanks." He said out loud. Just then recovery girl walked into her office to check on me. 'Shit Izumi what do I do?!' Izuku asked me. "Let's just tell her before she figures it out." It was a better plan than hiding it, so we took it.

"Oh um hi recovery girl..." izuku said nervously. "Hello Izumi dear. Why exactly are you awake at this hour?" She asked already suspicious of our behavior. "Oh actually Recovery girl, I um don't um well you see the thing is.... I'm not exactly Izumi right now. We kinda made it so that we can switch places. So I'm izuku controlling Izumi's body." Recovery girl's jaw dropped. It took a full minute before she regained her composure. "So, Izumi is inside your head right now... and the voice she previously mentioned is you... izuku?" Izuku was practically screaming in our head. "Ye- yes Recovery girl. Umm I guess it's nice to officially meet you." Izuku put out his hand to shake recovery girls. "Can you tell me how you ended with the name izuku? Do you know how to work your quirks?" She asked. Izuku looked down and began twiddling his thumbs. "Oh well uh izzzzuuuummmmmiiiii why are you leaving me to explain this?!" When izuku talked, he stuttered a lot. He also had this wobbliness to his voice. But of course because he had no idea how to control our transformation quirk, he couldn't make the voice his actual one. His words caused me and recovery girl to burst out laughing. "Okay okay. I'll take control." I tried this time to conjure up the control room from inside the mind. "Izuku you can't see me unless you close your eyes." He did as I told and looked around the room. "If you ever want to control, imagine this place and pull me off the control panel." I walked over and took control.

"Hey Recovery girl. It's me Izumi again." Recovery girl looked at me. My sudden body language change must have proved I am indeed me again. "So anyway you wanted to know why izuku is izuku right?" Recovery gave a quiet yes before I gave my explanation. "The voice and I have been talking. We um figured out that he is probably the original owner of this body. I have access to his memories now, but in third person. Like I lingering shadow. So it was appropriate that he keeps the original name. We actually pinpointed when I really materialized as part of him. It was not long after we came to be inside the league. Then I took control a few months in. He was dormant I think. Like in a sleeping state to try and heal probably. So now the two of us are together both awake in this body." Recovery girl processed the information I told her and after a short silence I saw the look of realization on her face. There's probably some sort of name for whatever we are.

In one moment a memory flashed into my mind. A few words in an article I read once. They were too blurry to really read from memory but three letters stood out. DID.
